BOOM!-) What a start and what a track to start with. I agree let them do all the work and you just add that 2% of chaos assimilation to give it that magic indefinable touch that is your heart, soul and spirit. A daydream of Valhalla is pretty radical for a daydream, what was it like there. Somewhat dark it seems with a curious beauty of primevalism. Loki up to his usual tricks, adding spice to the somnambulistic realm. Nice track. The third track made me think of the Hobbit's unexpected visitor, but this door sounds like it's being broken, so maybe an unwelcome visitor too. Good variations of musical construction, this being quite dark and foreboding in some ways. Ghosts in the Bayou carries a beautiful bass full of eerie, spookiness. Lovely resonance forming the foundation and light spirits passing by in grand melodiousness. Contemplation of Murder sounds serious enough, as it should, and is suitably profound in its structure and sound sculpting. Quite poignant as it goes on. Followed by That Day in Winter, almost symphonic in form, I really like the atmosphere of this track. Mind you, so far, the whole album is proving to be well worthy of respect for achievement in atmospherics! After these important messages the PC will self-destruct, hopefully not but it's a lighter track with a skilful array of rhythm and sound worked in together. Into Harm's Way and we are back with the dark side again, not complaining because it is achieved to the hilt very successfully. So, the least I can hope is that there was some such intentionality to it. Otherwise, I will go and book myself in to the farm. There seems to be a succession of events in the tracklisting but that doesn't fit in with the preamble to the album, so I guess I'm adding two and two and coming up with five, as I am wont to do on occasion. Missing You really sounds like it should, plaintive, maybe a bit regretful after that day in winter, following the contemplation. Anyway, like I said perhaps I'm finding a holism that does not actually exist but it's fun doing puzzles sometimes. Last and certainly not least by any means is Four More Years. As if there was a time to serve one way or another, a separation gleaned from the previous track. Sounds like doing service or time, either way there is a sense of it being a time imposed upon a person and a sense of institutionalism. Overall, an absolutely fantastic album of musical creation. Thanks for sharing.

Nice and soothing, something I can lose myself to. My only complaint is that track 3 jars me out of the ambience you have created. Otherwise, good album. Daydreaming of Valhalla is my favorite.
